Helicopter PHOTO Gallery and Discussion: Post Yours

PS: Sup Yoda Only because you've shown some interest here's another 'Screen Shot' that shows the 'Blur Mask' better

The 'Copy of the Background' is the Layer I needed to show through the mask. And the 'Background' Layer is the original that generally gets NO editing, it's there for Back-up. Overall it's a relatively easy modification, using the 'Eraser' tool we just need a good eye and a steady hand on the rodent. Nevertheless as I mentioned previously I did RUSH teh work a wee bit and I could have used the 'Selection' tool more for better accuracy

   

To keep in context I also posted here --->

W00d - I think the military would be interested in your stealth technology for their helicopters and buggies.

Good job w00d.  How does the pitch actuator rod connect to the tail bellcrank?

 

Thanks

      This help

               

 

There is a eyelet on the end of the actuator shaft on mine also.  In the photo it looks like the shaft goes through the ball.

 

Wasn't connected when I took the photo

GAUI ep255, Hurricane

LOL, the 'Fixed' Landing Gear after many flights is still holding strong and it's only fasted on w/ Zip-ties
... Although it is looking a little BENT, heli's leaning to one side but I think that because it's only held on with the Zips

Not the best mounting for the battery but I hate taking the canopy on and off so it serves it purpose mounted there ...

Nothing to write home about here, just updating with a new SIG photo of my TRex 450 ... See my SIG.
... Post is more to inform about the changes w/  Photobucket ... See following 'note'




[size=1.2em]Note:[/size] Photobucket has apparently changed it's LOOK and the End-user License Agreement (EULA)
... but I haven't looked too closely as to what those changes might be!?!

After a quick look from what I can tell the BIG change to their ELUA is
... we now can upload any sized photo but are limited as to amount.
... was the opposite where we had an unlimited amount of storage but was limited by the size off the images

As for the new 'look'n feel' if you are a regular Photobucket user then this you already know Not sure I like it myself ?

Meh, as for the details of these changes (after a closer look-see) I might be corrected?

FYI:

I've noticed the change too wOOd. I haven't really given the "new" a fair chance yet so went back to old look. Had some stuff I was doing and wasn't willing to mess with the learning curve yet.

 

LMAO, yeah I was doing the same as I needed to do some work so I too instantly reverted back to the old interface
... It's only now I'm actually having a closer look-see

One thing I found so far and I don't like
... Within the OLD interface the 'links' would pop-up as we hovered over them as you know
... But NOW we need to 'Click' to get at them
... UPDATE: I found out this is a beta version of the new Photobucket interface.
                    Thus while in 'beta' the show 'links' feature been disabled.
                    So I would have to assume this will be fixed when they go prime time.

Nope I DON'T like THAT !!!
... thus I'm looking to change that without reverting the OLD look?  :-\
... I'm still on the fence as to changing back to the OLD look?

Although it's GOOD my AD Blocker (FireFox) still works just fine, hehe

You know what would be nice w00d?  When clicking a link in your signature that takes the viewer to a photo on your Photobucket account, that on that page there was a link to see more photos from your account.  Right now, when I click a link I get a new tan in the browser with a static photo loaded with no navigation available.

 

I had a few links do that w/ the last version of my SIG
... Anyhow I'll remember that for the next revision which I change up almost weekly

PS: Part of the problem if I were to do that I would have to take all my 'categories' out off 'password' mode, hehe. Still it's an option

And why the 'password' option you ask !?!  LMAO, darn good question ...
... I had found allot of MY PHOTOS we're being used, ripped-off to an 'Image' providers website! He had sent in a BOT to do the nasty deed
... Needless to say this was an AD Based web site so THIS JERK was making money of MY CONTENT 

This was also actually my fault as I had set the Copy-write notices to 'Public' so I screwed myself
... In retrospect it does make it WISE to set those Copy-write notices as we upload content to PhotoBucket and similar Photo Sharing Sites, yeah

Generally I set my licensing as follows, Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported (CC BY-NC-ND 3.0).
... Which basically says "You are FREE to use without changes but w/ due credit (and link back) and NOT for commercial use or re-sale!"

You also might have noticed ALL new photo's I create have my 'Watermark',
... Yes I know watermarks are easy to remove but when one does it proves intent to steal, they can't claim they didn't know it was copywrited!

FYI:
  w00d

 

There are also secure watermarks that are not visible.  Adobe makes a system that will allow you to track where your photos are being used.  Maybe there are free versions of software with similar functionality.

 

hehe, I use those too but that was a secret, kinda ... Just wasn't going to tell anyone but yeah my Photo Editor provides that option.

 

Can you see other websites that have posted your photos via the secure embedded watermark?  I think Adobe charges extra to do that.

 

Yup NO doubt

'DIGIMARC® for Images' are the people that provide the embedded watermarks for Paintshop Pro
... Are those the same guys that provide the service for Adobe's products?
... Only curious because I don't own anything from Adobe?

Personally, if I were to spend that kind of $$$ for the service I would reserve that option for if-and-when I offer my photos for sale !?!

As for finding who is ripping-off ya content here's a Firefox Plug-in I use, TinEye ... It found the dufus that was stealing my stuff
... This service is FREE and they 'crawl' the entire web themselves,
... so if your content is relatively new one would have to wait until they did the updates to their servers.
... This service is available in the plug-in form for most browsers
... That said TinEye is NOT the only game in town as there are a number of plug-ins and sites that offer the same (FREE) service, Google is your Friend.

Talking about Making a Little GREEN ($$$$) especially for the 'little' unprofessional guys like me,
... have a look at this service, selling your content? Then - Gumroad

Meanwhile "Back at the Bat Cave"
... hehe, just tooling around, my Land Helicopter, and a bit overkill on the 'watermarks' say wut

That sounds about right to me too.  I believe that Adobe also uses Digimarc.  I looked into it but it was a long time ago, maybe 2005, so I cannot recall the cost involved.
